Bosch MKM 6000 - Manual (Page 3)

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Introduction
The Bosch MKM 6000 series coffee grind­
ers are powerful, yet lightweight, high
efficiency grinders designed for household
use. The MKM 6000 series grinder uses a
slanted basket that causes the coffee to
swirl as it is ground for a more even grind.
The packaging used for the coffee grinder
is biodegradable type and may be disposed
of through your local recycling center. In
addition, Bosch recommends that when it
comes time to dispose of your grinder that
it be disposed of in a safe and environ­
mentally friendly way as recommended by
your local, city, state or provincial govern­
ment offices.
As you read through these instructions,
please pay particular attention to the

North American models of the MKM 6000
series coffee grinders are supplied for use
on 120 volts, 60 Hz.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the -
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.

2. Using a damp cloth wipe the inside of
the cover and dry.
3. Using a dry cloth wipe the slant basket.
Your coffeé grinder is now ready for use.
Tips for successful brewing
Fine, well prepared coffee is enjoyed by
almost everyone. The following tips can
help to assure that your coffee will have
that fresh, full flavored taste avery time:
- Always use fresh cold water.
- Use fresh, top quality coffee beans.
After you have found a coffee that you
like, freshness is perhaps the most
important quantity; oils in the coffee
beans can turn rancid with age, spoiling
the flavor.
- Keep unused coffee in a tightly sealed
container in your refrigerator or freezer.
- Experiment, to learn how much ground
coffee to use for the strength of coffee
you prefer. Tastes vary and there are no
hard and fast rules.
As your first trial we recommend, trying
one heaping tablespoon for every three
cups (for 10 cups use 3V2 tablespoons).
From this point vary to taste, until you
find the amount you prefer; then make a
note of your preference.
- For best flavor, serve coffee immediately
after brewing.
- Clean the coffee maker’s carafe and
filter basket, and gold filter (if used), after
each use.
- Descale (decalcify) the coffee maker on
a regular basis.
Using your coffee grinder
The Bosch coffee grinder is intended to be
used to grind coffee beans only. If other
items are ground in the grinder the warranty
will be voided and the flavor of the sub-
stance(s) ground will often be carried over
into the items ground subsequently for
some period of time.
The Bosch coffee grinder can hold up to
2V4 ounces of coffee beans. There are
various types of coffee makers and each
type will have a recommended grind and a
recommended amount of coffee to be used
to yield the best results. Below, in Table 1,
you will find listed the commonly recom­
mended grinds for many of the various
coffee makers on the market. These are
provided as a guide only, you should
always refer to your coffee makers manual
and also, of course, rely on your own
tastes in determining the “best” coffee for
you.
Finess of grind is determined by the length
of time grinder is in operation. After you
have opended the coffee grinder and
placed the desired amount of beans in the
grinder, replace the cover end press the
